The Poales are a large order of flowering plants in the monocotyledons, and includes families of plants such as the grasses, bromeliads, rushes and sedges. Sixteen plant families are currently recognized by botanists to be part of Poales.

Poales, grass order of flowering plants, containing the grass family (Poaceae), economically the most important order of plants, with a worldwide distribution in all climates. Poales contains more than 18,000 species of monocotyledons (that is, flowering plants …

Mar 13, 2025 · Poaceae, grass family of monocotyledonous flowering plants, a division of the order Poales. The Poaceae are the world’s single most important source of food. They rank among the top five families of flowering plants in terms of the number of species, but they are clearly the most abundant and important family of the Earth’s flora.

Nov 27, 2023 · Poales are one of the most species-rich, ecologically and economically important orders of plants and often characterise open habitats, enabled by unique suites of traits. We test six hypotheses regarding the evolution and assembly of Poales in open and closed habitats throughout the world, and examine whether diversification patterns ...

Poales species are monocots with two-ranked leaves, much reduced flowers, dry and small stigma, and well-developed style. The Poales flowers are unisexual, bisexual, or sterile and pollination of the members is via anemophily or entomophily.

Poales is a taxonomic order of flowering plants in the monocotyledons. The order includes families of plants such as the grasses , bromeliads , and sedges . Most Poales are wind-pollinated, and so lack the colour and scents of most flowering plants.

The Poales is a large group of 16–17 families, nine of which are described here. One hypothesis of relationships of the families is seen in Figure 7.61. The order includes several basal groups with showy, insect-pollinated flowers. Many members of the Poales have small, reduced, typically wind pollinated flowers.

The Poales are a large order of flowering plants in the monocotyledons, and includes families of plants such as the grasses, bromeliads, and sedges. Sixteen plant families are currently recognized by botanists to be part of Poales.

Jan 31, 2022 · The Poales is one of the largest orders of flowering plants with significant economic and ecological values. Reconstructing the phylogeny of the Poales is important for understanding its evolutionary history that forms the basis for biological studies.

Apr 4, 2014 · Here, using the largest phylogenetic analysis of Poales to date, molecular dating, ancestral reconstructions and diversification analyses, we develop a macro-evolutionary and macro-ecological approach to seek correlates for changing diversification patterns.
